Thread: Rain Bird ESP-SMT Smart Controller

About once a year I will run into an issue, where I check with tech support. There have already been two people, one from RB and one from our supplier who have messed around with this controller trying to get it to work.

Well, I'm not surprised to hear that the supplier wasn't able to help. I love some of my suppliers. But to be honest, I don't think there are any of the guys at any of my suppliers that really know that controller really well.

But I do find it surprising to hear that the RB person wasn't able to help you. Who exactly at RB was the person who "messed with this controller and tried to get it to work", as you say?

What the person from RB did and this comes from our route manager who oversees this particular site, they changed the controller over to "time based" in an effort to get it to work. I would have to ask our route manager who was out to look at it. The supplier I take with a grain of salt he has also set some of the Solarsyncs up to a region 3 but thats a different story. This is a large site and I haven't had alot of time to work out some of these issues, and we have our crews, starting this year adjusting controllers.
